Troy Alexander/Technus/M4v3И
Background:
Troy Alexander grew up in Forton, Texas a small town where no technology newer than 1974 would operate for more than a day. His Mom raised him with "traditional" 1950's values, and Troy would have lived a boring life in Forton if not for one thing.

An unprecedented field trip to Dallas exposed Troy to technology at the first time, revealking his powers. His brief exposure to technology showed him a whole new world.

Not wanting to stay in Forton, Troy earned a scholarship to Emerald City University, and left for college after graduating high school. There he found out just how much of the world he missed, and Gary, his film major roommate tried to "catch him up" using movies.

Shortly after graduation, Troy encountered a digital entity in his computer that he mistook to be his avatar. Bonding with Troy, the avatar took the name Technus. Shortly after, Troy witnessed a fight between several armored foes. One of them attacked Troy and his friends, and Troy used his powers to disable the armored suit. The being inside teleported out, and Troy was left with a suit or armor.

After a few weeks of modifications, Troy was out testing it out when the Queen of Fables was freed and Lantern Jack gathered Troy and five heroes to form the Avengers. Not sure what name to use, Troy chose the name of his avatar, Technus.

After a rocky start with Troy blowing up a ship full of aliens and dating Farah Tomah, leader of Jagged Cresecent a criminal organization in Emerald City, Troy was able to calm things down by going to therapy for night terrors and entering a stable relationship with Veronica Steeley, Ultramarine of the Emerald City Sentinels.

During Gruun's invasion of Earth, the Avengers were scattered across the universe in Gruun's gateway network. Troy arrived on the Doc Ship where the computer increased his powers to a much more advanced level. At the same time, he found he could switch places with his digital avatar.

Troy was nearly killed in an encouter with Reich's minions. A later encounter with the same enemies, sent Troy into a panic attack which eventually led him to "hack" his own brain in cyberspace using a persoanlity upgrade he originally planned for Technus.

On a trip to Cybertron, the truth about Technus came out. Not his digital avatar at all, Technus was in fact the Fallen. Reclaiming his body, Troy was forced to use some Cybertronian armor to kill his former avatar.

The armor burned out Troy's technopathy, leaving dependent on his armor. After a rough patch, he began developing his technical skills back to their former, technopath heightened levels.

During Azoth's attack on Emerald City, Troy was caught in the Silver Storm. The energies restored his powers and interacted with his armor, granting it sentience and causing it to bond with his nervous system.

Complications:
Look at the time: When interfacing with machines, Troy tends to lose track of time and may often forget the original task.

Enemy: Troy has noticed some "men in black" types ever since he made his debut with his armor. They may be the same group that he scavenged the armor from or somebody else trying to use his abilities. Either way, it's not good for Troy.

Freedom League who?: Troy grew up in a little town with no TV and litte contact with the outside world. He spent four years in college trying to catch up, but he is still missing a lot of details about the big world.

Haunted: Troy is haunted by killing all the Yeerks and their hosts with the Sentinels laser canon, and will have an anxiety attack if events are similar to that battle.

Notes: This is the original armored version of Technus before his powers increased, and he started switching places with his avatar from the Digital Web. He actually had a whole array of armor, and he could summon them, as needed. I used Summon to reflect his armor being controlled remotely. As for the additional suits of armor, he used the Aquatic armor during a single mission, and the Stealth armor once during another adventure. He never wore the Titan armor during a mission.

Complications:

Enemy: Dr Shock and the Labyrinth are on Troy's radar, and he theirs. Also PSI is looking to forcibly recruit the young technopath.

Freedom League who?: Troy grew up in a little town with no TV and litte contact with the outside world. He spent four years in college trying to catch up, but he is still missing a lot of details about the big world.

To much tech: If Troy is surrounded by too much technology, he suffers debilitating headaches. This includes any attempt to don any battlesuits.

Background: After working for the Avengers for several months, Gruun came to Earth and sent the Avengers to various worlds in his empire. The first world Troy encountered was a medical ship that originally travelled the Universe helping people. The computer enhanced his technopathic abilites, which caused him to accidentally deconstruct his armor. After freeing the ship, he began his journey thrrough the warp network back to Earth. Through his travels, he learned that he could trade places with his avatar on the Digital Web. After some rough times, Xiao strengthened the bond between Technus and Troy allowing them to communicate with each other at all times. One of the side effects of his enhanced abilities increased his sensitivity to technology. To much technology around him will cause severe headaches.

Complication: Fish out of water- As a refugee from Xeron, he knows nothing about Earth or its culture.
Prejudice- As a half-demon, many out there assume Rin to be a servant of some great evil power.
Fights for the underdog- Rin is motivated to help the underdog.

Background: Rin never knew his parents or how he ended up Xeron under the tyranical rule of Quinn. All he knows is his demon blood made him strong enough to survive and rebellous enough to join the resistance. Skorpan suspected that somehow, the rebellous youngster would be instrumental into Quinn's downfall. As Rin grew up in the resistance, he begand to have dreams. In these dreams there was a presence known only as Sasha, from whom he learned many secrets of magic, as well as future events. He used this knowledge to aid the resistance. Finally, Sasha told him that there was a book that would be the key to destroying Quinn. Skorpan agreed to the mission, even though it was likely suicide. They found the book, but with Quinn and his elite guard bearing down on them, Rin cast the spell in the book which opened a portal. Unclear how this would destroy Quinn, Sasha's voice from the portal prompted him to leap through; leaving the only surviving resistance member, Skorpan, to face Quinn and the elite guards by himself.

On Earth, he joined with the group of heroes who would become the Chicago Avengers. After several missions, Rin was extremely conflicted about what it takes to be a hero, and where Sasha was. When the TSAB came to capture Fandango that led to a fight betwen the Avengers and the Time-Space cops; Rin was even more confused. He left the team, unsure that he ever really belonged with them. He decided that maybe the TSAB could give him what he felt was missing. However, Rin was still to conflicted and failed the test with the TSAB. He wandered the multiverse for a while, until he drawn to a small group of secluded mystics. They helped him explore his demon side and his human side. Rin was able to find a balance between his two halves and come to terms with his past.

He continues to serve with the Chicago Avengers, as well as helping out at Father Forthill's church and has entered a relationship with Sarah Maddocks.

Complications
Enemy: Overshadow wants to prevent Tyler from siring the next incarnation of Heru-Ra, and Viper wants some payback for all the damage he has done - and continues to do - to their operations.
Obsession: Finding Julia: Tyler is obsessed with finding Julia, believing he was brought back to find her so they can sire Heru-Ra's next incarnation.
Quirk: Rebirth: His memories before his rebirth are sketchy, and the DC to remember anything specific from that time is increased by 10.
Quirk: Legally Dead: Tyler Mason was declared legally dead and the proceedings had already begun. He never took any action to stop them and now he has no legal status.

Background:
Tyler never knew his destiny until after he died. Heru-Ra (the Scarab) is supposed to incarnate next in Tyler's son. Overshadow, Heru-Ra's reincarnated enemy Tan-Aktor, discovered this, and caused the accident that nearly killed Tyler and gave him super-speed powers instead. Tyler assumed the identity Stryke and began working with Foreshadow's group in hopes of finding his missing fiance Julia. Overshadow then manipulated Viper to take out Stryke. A group of cyber-assassins ambushed him and killed him.

Three days later, in the morgue, Heru-Ra found Tyler's spirit had not moved on and was dangerously close to becoming a hungry ghost. Heru-Ra used his Ka to increase Tyler's bringing him back to life resulting in Tyler gaining massive telekinetic abilities and Heru-Ra's memories co-mingled with Tyler. Tyler woke up in the morgue with Foreshadow waiting for him to rise. As they headed back to the brownstone, Tyler passed close to the alley where he died. Forced to relive the memories of his death, he was filled with a burning need for revenge. He tracked the assassins down, savagely beating two of them and chasing the third back to the Viper cell. He shredded the Viper cell and killed the leader. Forshadow eventually found him a block away curled up in a ball.

Foreshadow began helping Tyler find himself again in the jumble of memories in his head. Eventually, he referred Tyler to the Freedom League.

Complication:
Secret Identity: Tyler is trying to keep his two worlds seperate, plus he figures nobody will hire a Paramedic trying to play superhero.
Relationship: Tyler is searching for his fiancée, Julia, who has been missing for severla months. In addition, Julia is a psionic who is addicted to using her powers.
Motivation- Seeking Justice: All the time he spends seeing good people get stepped on has left Tyler wanting to make things right.

Background: Tyler had a normal life until 14 months ago. He just finished his Paramedic training, and he and Julia, his graduate student girlfriend, were moving in together. She wanted to go to this super-elite frat New Years party, and while it wasn't Tyler's thing, he went anyway. At midnight, when champagne was passed around; Tyler and Julia didn't know that it was spiked with various designer drugs. Tyler ended up taking an overdose of Zoom.

He woke up two weeks later in the hospital. Most of the party goers had died, he and Julia were in the lucky few. Tyler found out that he had some residual effects of the Zoom. Julia took another six weeks to wake up, and when she did, she also exhibited powers; however hers were telepathic in nature.

For a while, things went back to normal. Tyler was able to get passed the review board and keep his Paramedic license. However, he started to notice changes in Julia. She was using her powers more and more. When he confronted her, she revealed that she had used it on the review board. She was becoming addicted to using her powers and scanning people's minds. Unfortunately, her scans were not gentle and put more than one person in the hospital. Julia became more and more reckless and disappeared for days at a time. During her disappearances, Tyler would search for her. What he found in the seedier areas was people needing help. So he started to help them.

After months of her popping in and out of his life, she came to him one might scared. She was acting like someone was out to get her. Tyler didn't believe her; he thought this was another one of heer games. She disappeared a day later and he hasn't seen her since. That was three months ago. He has been looking for some sign of her in between being a paramedic by day and superhero by night.

Complications:
Motivation: Live up to father's image. David long believed his father was just to busy for him, after learning that he was really trying to save the world, David is now trying to live up to this image of him.

Enemy: Father's business partner. David believes his father's hit was ordered by his business partner, and wants to find evidence to take him down.

Quirk: Conflicting motivations. David was taught by monks to always find the peaceful solution and never use violence, and Nighthawk has a reputation of solving problems with fists rather than words. David is caught between being Nighthawk his father's way and the monk's teaching of pacifism.

Background: David's father was to busy for a son. He sent him abroad, travelling from place to place with servants. Eventually he ended up in a Tibetan monastary, where the monks taught him to master his mind and body. He trained with them for years, until one day he had a vision of the death of his father at the hands of an assassin. The monks convinced him that he must return.

Unfortunately, David had not seen the future but the present and his father was dead. His father's business partner had swallowed up his Dad's massive fortune, and all David was left to inherit was a small house outside of town. When searching through the house, he found out the truth about his father. He was a crime fighter by the name of Nighthawk. His father had sent him away to protect him from those that would attack him through his son.

Believing him to be responsible for the assassin, David took the spare cache of equipment and costume to Gotham, where the father' business partner had moved the company headquarters to.

Personality: David is mostly a man of peace. But this peace has limits. David grew up thinking his father was the rich playboy he led everybody else to believe. He thought he was one more of those rich kids that his father just didn't have time for. He considered the monks to be his family, more so than his real father.

Upon discovering he had been wrong about his father, he has become driven. Driven to complete his father's quest and driven to find his father's killer. His father's journal had revealed to him a man that David wanted to know better, but now he couldn't. Now he seeks to know his father by doing the same job his father did.

David grew up learning the ways of peace, but from his father's journal, he learned that often peaceful men can only survive because powerful warriors are there to protect them. Men like his father. And now men like him.

COMPLICATIONS
Identity: Philip is trying to maintain a secret identity
Responsibility: Phillip feels responsible for carrying on the family lineage
Quirk: Phillip has no experience in the magical world, and almost no training

BACKGROUND
Phillip was born a half-Japanese boy in the United States. His father had come over from Japan at the age of 20 and worked his way up the corporate ladder. His mother worked to teach Phillip about his Japanese heritage, even though his father was more interested in embracing the American way. Phillip went to college and studies to be an engineer. As he approached graduation, his parents were in a car accident and killed.
Shortly after, his Uncle from Japan came to see him. He started telling him stories of the family tradition, his birthright, and responsibility to aid humanity. All this talk of demons and evil spirits just made Phillip think his Uncle was nuts. He dismissed his crazy Uncle, who left with the curse of "interesting times."
On his 22nd birthday, Phillip's life became very interesting. He woke up to be attacked by demons, evil spirits, and a cult. Even more surprisingly, he fended them off with the magical powers his Uncle spoke of. More than a little overwhelmed, he tried to ignore it all, but they kept coming.
Looking for a fresh start, Phillip moved across the country to Emerald City to take a job at a small engineering firm. The pay was less than he had been offered in Freedom City, but the change of scenery was bound to help things.

Background: The moment his parents named him, Colt's destiny as a country western singer was almost assured. Growing up in Dallas, Texas but spending every summer working on his uncle's ranch, the stage was set. Receiving a guitar for his eight birthday was the icing on the cake (or nail in the coffin).
He did farely well, winning talent shows and local competitions. When he was thirteen, he was out on the ranch looking for inspiration when his sonic powers first manifested and he blew up a cow. He ran home and went straight to his room and hid there for the rest of the day. When the remains were found the next day, the ranch foreman muttered aliens and nobody spoke of the incident again.
He learned that he could modulate his voice for a variety effects, even making his singing causing euphoria. He realized what he was and he decided to stop using his powers when performing to avoid drawing to much attention. Now trying to live a normal life as a teenager, he contiues to hide what he is.

Complications:
Secret Identity: Colt is trying to keep his powers a secret
Relationships: Colt has very uneasy relationship with his family and Aunt Mina is a complete mystery to him.
Larangytis: If he uses his powers for more than 4 consecutive rounds or uses Extra Effort, he risks getting larangytis and being unable to use his powers.

Background:
Colt's parents were Oil Tycoons from Texas, but he didn't care for the mansions and other amenities that money could buy. He preferred to work on his Uncle's ranch. At age 12, he found out he had powers. Ray, the ranch foreman witnessed the event, and helped Colt cover it up. His powers would remain a secret until his cousin found out and blabbed to his whole family. He had long wanted to take Colt's place as heir to the empire.

Ray suggested that Colt attend Claremont Academy, but his parents refused. They did not want him getting some silly notion about being a superhero. As his parents prepared to ship him overseas to get him out of sight, his Mom's estranged sister showed up on the door. Aunt Mina had been a hero in the early eighties, and Colt's parents didn't want anything to do with her. After some intense, closed door negotiations, it was decided that Colt would go live with Aunt Mina. Colt moved out to Angel Bay and Mina enrolled him in Genoa High School.

Notes: A reworking of my old X-Men Reimagined character, Colt. By the rules of the game, all of his abilities started at 8, except CHA which was 12.

Complications:
Motivation: Protective of small children and orphans
Combat Programming: When combat starts, its hard for him to snap out of "killing mode"
Revenge: Tyr wants revenge against Omega and his agents

Background: Tyr was grown in vat to be a soldier. His race predicted the coming Terminus
event 10 years before it happened. Unfortunately, the neighboring systems saw
the building of an army as a threat, and attacked. Tyr was the last soldier to
come out of the vat before the attack wiped out his creators.

Not having any programmed missions, he survived as best he could. He ended up as
a mercenary and criminal working for various criminal enterprises. For six
years, he gained a reputation as one of the Galaxy's Most Dangerous men. Then he
met Silia.

Silia was an orphan. He employer at the time had just killed her parents, and
was going to sell her into slavery. Tyr was transporting her to the merchant
world, when something inside him stirred. He disobeyed his employer and went on
the run with Silia. For several years they were hunted, Tyr always keeping them
one step ahead of the bounty hunters and mercs sent after them.

The Terminus came. Tyr survived the initial onslaught, but Silia did not. Tyr
was rescued by a ship of refugees and now wants a chance for revenge.

Ryan was an all-state linebacker and wrestler in high school. He was destined for the pros until, he was hit by a drunk driver while driving friends home from a graduation party. His friends were killed and Ryan was paralyzed from the neck down.
His parents had never had much money, so they couldn't afford the expensive operations and physical therapy that would be required for even a partial recovery. So when they were approached by a doctor claiming to have an experimental procedure that would completely restore him, and that the treatment would be provided free of charge; Ryan jumped at the opportunity.
What Ryan didn't know was the doctor worked for Viper. So while he was receiving his treatment, his parent began looking into this doctor, which led to Viper sending some agents to eliminate them.
When Viper told him what they expected as payment, and held up the pictures of his dead parents as a warning, Ryan lost it. He totally destroyed the Viper lab, and set out to take down every Viper cell he coudl find.
No longer able to do what he loved, Ryan found his new abilities led him to a very successful career as a bounty hunter. He learned the basics from a man who went by Bear, and now hunts down bail jumpers in between taking out Viper cells.

Backgrounds:
Otaku decided to create a robotic double of Raven. However, he quickly became frustrated that his creation could never match up to the real Raven, so he boxed her up.
She wakes up in a warehouse being robbed. Something happened that caused her to gain sentience. Still under her original programming, she thinks she is Raven and stops the crime. The real Raven is out of town, so this robot begins patrolling the streets as Raven, but as time passes, she starts to realize that she isn't Raven.
By the time the real Raven returns and tracks her down, she finds the robots in the midst of changing her identity so she doesn't look like Raven. Rather than her fight with the android, Raven decides to help her. She sets her up with a new identity, moves her to Angel Bay, puts her on the West Coast team.

Complications:
Enemy: Kir is one of the last of an Order of Techno-Mages. They have many enemies who would like revenge against them, including Omega and his forces.

Relationship: Vala is a Techno-Mage and former lover who has jerked him around since the fall of the Order. Tesseract is a mentor of sorts who has helped Kir come to grips with himself, and can call on Kir in times of need.

Background: Kir Avon grew up on world that fell to Omega's forces when he was a toddler. Kir was rescued by a Techno-Mage and taken in by their order. He received the nanotech endowment from the founder and trained with them for years. They continued to rescue the victims of Omega and other forces of oppression.

Finally, Omega sent his full contingent of Annihilists to destroy the the Order. During the final battle, Kir saw all of his fellow techno-mages fall, including Vala whom he was having a relationship with. Tenin, the Techno-Mage that saved him those many years ago, used his last act to send Kir far away from the forces of Omega, saving his life.

He travelled around the multi-verse for a time, even finding that Vala had somehow survived the attack. Her explanation of an astral illusion only led to more questions, as this would have required much prior planning on Vala's part. Kir ran into Vala a few times, but she never stayed long enough to answer his questions.

On one world threatened by an asteroid, Kir joined forces with TSAB to save the planet. Through this contact, he was able to take the test and become a Contract Mage for the TSAB. He was assigned to Earth 409 as a liason officer, which he learned that Vala has settled on.

After he was reassigned by the TSAB, he resigned his postion to continue his search for Vala. After being strung along and sent on wild goose chases for several months by Vala, Kir met a technomancer named Tesseract in the Australian outback. He helped Kir understand what his relationship with Vala really was and gave him a new outlook on life. He also helped Kir come to a new understanding of his abilities. With it, Kir cast of the old Techno-Mage paradigm and embraced life as a technomancer.

He returned to Chicago to commit to full time duties as an Avenger. However, since Rin had a bad experieince in Emerald City while covering for Kir, he will use any excuse to get out to EC to check up on his friend.

Appearance: Kir appears as a caucasian male in his mid to late twenties, with very short brown hair and a few days facial hair. He is dressed all in black, including a long black coat with silver symbols down the front on either side. He carries a silver metal staff of about 5 feet in length with a small silver hemisphere on one end.

Notes: Did a major overhaul on Kir, even though he left the campaign. He might end up as an NPC sometime and crossover in another Crinosverse game.
